Description:A thank you card from a soldier for a gift of cigarettes from the pupils of Eccleshall Church of England School. This was part of a scheme organised by the Overseas League during World War 2 to provide a gift of 'smokes' for servicemen.
The card reads: "Thank you ever so much for your gift of cigarettes, which were truly welcome coming from so near my home, it will also add to your interest to know that they have been received by a Market Drayton man. Again thank you yours sincerely T.(?) Edwards"
